Chicken Zucchini Enchilada Lasagna
My daughter and I made some tweaks to a recipe we found and created Chicken Zucchini Enchilada Lasagna. Super creative title, right?! 😜😂 But anyway, it was so easy to make and sooo good - I didn't even miss the tortillas! And that's saying a lot, because your girl loves carbs!! 😍 The hubs and my teenage daughter even approved! 😮 Give it a whirl!
